Review:
"Week by Week is a comprehensive text, which effectively combines the personal, practical and professional to provide student teachers and practitioners with a complete system for looking closely at young children's progress and development.... There were points when I found that I was reading the text with as much absorption as if I were reading a novel." - Elizabeth A. Jenkins, Orlando Tech, Orlando, FL
"The textbook features are excellent. The vignettes, topics in observation, review sections, and summary sections including uses, advantages, disadvantages, pitfalls, and technology suggestions are all great. I love the "It Happened to Me"; who of us has not experienced at least one of these moments in our experience with children" - Alice D. Beyrent, M.Ed., Hesser College, Manchester, NH
